How to break bottle in crib habit?

Question

I made the mistake of putting my toddler down with a bottle in her crib. She would drink the bottle and fall asleep, and now I need to break that habit. 
Any tips?
She is 16 months old, and has been having a bottle in her crib for a couple months. 
I quit giving the bottle by nap time, but bedtime is still a nightmare.
Thank you!

Answer

Put water in the bottle & absolutely no matter how hard it is don't put anything else in it I made this mistake with my first baby & he ended up getting some dental work done at 3.5.

Answer

Cold turkey bottles all together. 
Switch to a cup of milk or water before bedtime routine. Teeth HAVE to be brushed after bedtime milk to prevent bottle rot. 
It might be a rough couple of nights but babies are quite resilient and learn quickly.

Answer

We did this with our first and thankfully didn’t do it with our second. We did a sippy with milk in it to ditch the bottle, then every night we slowly gave her less and less milk. One night after her drinking for all of 10 seconds because she didn’t have much she asked for more and i told her, if you want more drink you can have water, and gave her water in a water bottle and ever since then she’s had a water bottle by her bed and takes two sips and goes to sleep!

Answer

My sons get water bottles at night. Just a regular straw styled water bottle, not a baby bottle.

Answer

You could try giving her a straw cup with water in it. It’s better for her teeth and might give her some comfort? Or replace it with another type of thing all together- a song, a book, any sort of routine or a special blanket maybe? It’ll be tough, but she’ll adjust.
